There Are 23 Shell Companies Allegedly Receiving Indosurya KSP Funds

JAKARTA - The Directorate of Special Economic Crimes at the Police Criminal Investigation Agency is investigating the crime of money laundering (TPPU) of the Indosurya Savings and Credit Cooperative (KSP). Including the flow of funds to 23 shell companies.

"While 23 affiliated companies whose flow of funds is being investigated are related to Indosurya", said Head of Sub-directory III of TPPU, Directorate of Special Economic Crimes, Criminal Investigation Agency, Commissioner Robertus Yohanes Deo Tresna Eka Trimana, to VOI, Wednesday, March 1.

In deepening Indosurya's flow of funds, Criminal Investigation Agency did not work alone. Financial Analysis and Transaction Reporting (PPAT) were involved in the investigation.

"That's right (coordination with PPATK). It's already and the process is ongoing", he said.

As for the development of the handling of the Indosurya case, it has now gone up to the investigation stage. However, no suspects have been named.

Investigators are gathering evidence and clues. Several witnesses have been questioned.

"We are still examining witnesses and gathering other evidence", said De Deo.

In the Indosurya KSP case, Police Criminal Investigation Agency handled 6 new police reports (LP). Of the several alleged violations, one of them was escalated to the investigation stage.

The increase in reporting status to the investigation stage is based on the results of the case that was held last week.

Meanwhile, from the results of the case title, it was also decided that the investigation process would be combined. Although, there are three alleged criminal offences.

The opening of a new investigation into the KSP Indosurya case was because previously a panel of judges at the West Jakarta District Court acquitted the suspect who owns Indosurya, Henry Surya.

In his decision, the judge considered that the actions of the defendant in the KSP Indosurya case were not criminal, but civil.

In fact, the demands of the public prosecutor could result in the Indosurya boss being charged with imprisonment for 20 years and a fine of IDR 200 billion, a subsidiary of one year in prison.
